The California Outdoor Recreation Partnership
Supporting California's Outdoor Recreation Industry
Powering a voice for the outdoor recreation industry to shape policy, support investments, and engage an inclusive community of outdoor participants in California around the benefits of outdoor recreation.
Why We Exist
California is home to the nation’s largest active outdoor industry economy, contributing $73.8 billion in economic spending annually and 567,636 direct jobs, while supporting active lifestyles, community health and wellness, and a shared love for California’s majestic outdoors.
The California Outdoor Recreation Partnership (CORP) represents the collective interests of member organizations and programs, within California, focused on politics, policy direction and funding in support of the active outdoor recreation industry. CORP educates legislators about the role that our industry plays in improving economic opportunity, community health and welcoming a diversity of outdoor enthusiasts across our great state.Prioritizing Recreation Investments

- Pursue and advocate for funding related to recreation infrastructure, including investments in parks, trail maintenance, transportation, education, and new parks in under-parked communities.
